Dual-hub delivery

The only UK provider with a Yorkshire + London hub.

Every ICB medicines optimisation programmes placement in Liversedge is mobilised from one of our two clinical hubs — Halifax (West Yorkshire) as the lead and Chiswick (West London) as paired cover. The dual-hub model is unique to BCS: no other clinical pharmacy provider in the UK runs Northern and Southern hubs with shared SOPs, shared supervision and same-week cross-cover. That is what guarantees continuity of ICB medicines optimisation programmes for a Liversedge PCN through sickness, leave and turnover.

  • Lead delivery from the BCS Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub
  • Paired cover from BCS Chiswick (West London) — same SOPs, same supervision
  • Same-week sickness, leave and maternity cover guaranteed
  • ARRS-compliant, GPhC-registered, IP-qualified workforce
  • One SLA, one report, one escalation point

Liversedge · local context

Why Liversedge PCNs choose BCS for ICB medicines optimisation programmes.

Solo recruitment for ICB medicines optimisation programmes in Liversedge leaves a network exposed to sickness, maternity and retention risk, and rarely meets the supervision standard ICBs now ask for. BCS removes all of that — pharmacists are part of a clinical team, supervision is built in, and continuity is guaranteed by the Halifax (West Yorkshire)/Chiswick (West London) dual-hub.

Whether you are a single Liversedge PCN starting your first ICB medicines optimisation programmes programme, or a federation coordinating ICB medicines optimisation programmes across multiple Yorkshire & Humber networks, the BCS managed model scales without changing your contract.

Frequently asked questions — Medicines Optimisation for ICBs in Liversedge.

Can BCS deliver a single ICB-wide programme?+

Yes — we are already commissioned at place level in West Yorkshire and mobilising in NW London.

Does BCS already deliver ICB medicines optimisation programmes in Liversedge?+

BCS supports PCNs and GP practices across Yorkshire & Humber from our Halifax (West Yorkshire) hub with paired cover from Chiswick (West London), and is actively delivering or available to mobilise ICB medicines optimisation programmes in Liversedge.

What makes the dual-hub model different?+

BCS is the only UK clinical pharmacy provider running both a Northern (Halifax) and Southern (Chiswick) hub. That means same-week cross-cover, one SOP set across the country, and no service gap when staff are off — something single-hub or single-region providers cannot match.
